A possible omen for the property may have been finding, or not finding, a total lack of toilet paper in the unit shortly after checking in. After 6:00 (office hours strictly enforced) so no need to call anyone, and a quick trip to Dollar General took care of that. Upon entering the bathroom 2AMish discovered ants circling the bathroom sink. Washed them down the drain. A few hours later and found them again in the sink. I notified the office that day and they apologized, stated the complex had regular pest control, and they would contact them to treat and also leave us some extra spray if needed. We were gone all day, returning after dark, and saw no notice or smell that anyone or anything had been done. Overnight the ants again populated the bathroom sink, and several times I had to drown them. Much more prevalent than the previous night, leaving us to figure they had not been able to get by. We were gone all day on Thursday, returned after dark, and during the night the ants returned in force. At 5:30 the next morning my wife exclaimed "the ants are in the bed." That was the final straw. We packed everything up and left, even though we had rented through Friday night, and our friends who stayed at a different property were also booked through Friday night. So we missed our last day in the North Georgia mountains with our friends.
I emailed Cabin Rentals of Helen Friday afternoon, telling them of our disastrous stay. They stated they had handled. Not so!
